Maybe a JobLocke? Basically, you'd pretend you had a certain kind of occupation, and would have a bane and a boon based on that. Example- if you were a chef, your bane could be that you could only catch Pokemon that can hold berries in the wild, but your boon could be that you can revive Pokemon with a Revival Herb when the die (but you'd probably need something else- maybe you have to release a boxed Pokemon when you do it?).

I have discovered what a signature is.

This is Bidoof. Many people loathe it with their lives. If you are of the few people who love this little beaver, put this in your sig. Started by Warrior Scolipede

Anyway, how aout a Dex Challenge? Where you can only use Pokémon from a certain partof the Dex? Eg. Mountain Kalos, no. 1-50, etc.

So… Dexlocke, or DistrictLocke (the three regional districts)?

How about a Dual type challenge?
Only Pokémon of the two types chosen by the user may be used.

I'll be doing a Dual-type challenge. Types will be Water & Fairy

Pokémon allowed: All monotyped Water types and monotyped Fairy types, and Marill and Azumarill (both Water/Fairy)

If there is a Pokémon with a type combo with those two types, it may be used.
However, if one picks Steel & Bug
They can't use Scizor because it must start as a Bug/Flying. They can, however, use Pineco because it is Mono Bug and evolves into Bug/Steel.

Gym leader challenge:
Before going to beat the gym leader of the town your pokemon must not be higher leveled than the gym leaders highest pokemon (Unless there is a gym leader that randomly has a pokemon that is higher leveled than the gym leader after that)
Only use the pokemon the gym leader has. If they have double of that pokemon you can too.
Have the same moveset
Change your team to the next gym leader of the town when you battle them
At the elite four choose any of there teams or team flares teams OR even some pokemon you used before but the level limit it still ON. Yup, a bummer
Seeing X and Y have many pokemon and a new type this would be awesome. A bit like a character challenge but changing pokemon and only gym leaders. In Kalos region there is alot of pokemon, old faces in new places but also new Kalos pokemon. This would probably be best in X and Y.

Fire only team? Since you're able to get 3 starters (including the Game Stop event Torchic), you could limit yourself to only using fire types, since you'll already have Torchic, Fennekin, and Charmander.
You can only use basic Pokemon. No Pokemon that are able to evolve.
You can only use Pokemon that have the letter X or Y in their name? :s

I had an idea for an extremely hard challenge. the wondertrader challenge. you can only use the first 6 pokemon you get from wonder trading excluding repeats. so you would catch a few pokemon then immediately trade them for something random. chances are you will get 6 random early game commons. one mercy rule I think would be good would be that you can have 10 wonder trades total and you can pick any 6 pokemon from them. and to make it harder. any pokemon you receive higher than lvl 20 you must wait until you face a gym leader with a pokemon of higher lvl before you can use it. if you receive a pokemon of higher lvl then the last gym leader you cannot use it even for the elite four

Since there is so much variety, a Scramble Challenge x 2 would be good. You have to raise 12 pokemon and defeat the elite 4 twice with them. Use 6 of your scramble pokemon the first time fighting the elite 4, and then the other 6 during the second time, but you have to keep them all around the same level throughout the game.

About to do an X Scramble Challenge!!!

Let me know if you would like to trade or battle!3DS Friend Code: 1779-0043-7163Name on 3DS: BT

If we drop the letter clause and basic-mon clause then it's perfect. Having a Fire/Flying, Fire/Fighting, and Fire/Psychic would be really easy, and that's what I'm doing right now on my Y version.

So could a normal 6th gen Scramble, Nuzlocke, Monotype challenge thread be posted?

I'm currently playing a run through on my Pokémon X game with a challenge I used in Heartgold. The rules are you can only battle the gym leader's with two pokemon and every gym you must use a different two pokemon. so by the end you will have defeated the gyms with 16 different pokemon. I caught all my pokemon in-game with only trading to evolve pokemon. Then once you get to the E4 you randomly pick 6 pokemon(I just drew their names out of a hat) and try to defeat the E4. If you fail you pick a new 6 pokemon and go again. It took me about 10 tries to beat E4 in Heartgold but then it was a lot harder to grind 16 pokemon in HG then in XY.

How about an altered perceptions challange where you get both versions of the game and do both play throughts at the same time. After every route or major play mark you switch versions getting to the same point. At the end you have the two teams battle each other and see which one is stronger.

sorry guys, going inactive for a while, no idea when I will be back.

What about an ash run. Could be quite challenging. You start with a Pikachu and can only catch the regional bird (Pidgey, Fletchling, etc) before the first gym, then after the first gym get a starter, after the 2nd gym the next starter and after the third you get the final starter.

You can't evolve Pikachu, and must fully evolve one starter, keep one at it's second stage and one in its first stage. Pikachu must be used in every gym battle and when you can, you should use the same type (Or a type weak to) the gyms type.
